July 16th: On this date...


... in 1993, your University of Kentucky Wildcats point guard Travis Ford helped Team USA beat the communism out of China at the World University Games 129-91 to advance to the gold medal game. Ford, who was coming back from a minor knee injury, bucketed 16 points. Team USA would later win gold, prompting wind guy T. Boone Pickens to offer Travis the Oklahoma State job. These were the first World University Games held in the U.S. since 1972. Chicken guy Kenny Rogers was featured during the opening ceremonies.
